EVoltage Selector (General Model only)

Be sure to set to the line voltage in your area before applying power. Consult your dealer if unsure of the correct setting.

FSwitched AC Outlets

You may plug other audio components into these sockets as long as their combined power consumption does not exceed the specified value shown. “Switched” means that these components are turned on and off by this unit’s power switch.

GUnswitched AC Outlet (U.S.A., Canada and General Models) The total power consumption of audio components plugged into this socket should not exceed the specified value shown. “Unswitched” means that power is available even when this unit is off.

NOTE: If an external power amplifier is connected to the front effect or rear effect output jacks, the corresponding internal amplifier will be turned off and no output will be available at the speaker terminals.

Rear Panel Switch and Control Settings

There are several switches and controls on the rear panel that you’ll have to check before operating your system, and it’s a good idea to do it before you connect cables. Locate the MAIN LEVEL slide switch (C) and FRONT MIX slide switch (B) below the EFFECT terminal group. Make sure the MAIN LEVEL switch is set to “0 dB” and that the FRONT MIX switch is set to “OFF” for 7 or 6 speaker driving.

In a 5 or 4 speaker system, set the FRONT MIX switch to “ON”.

Next, set the NTSC/PAL switch (A) to the position corresponding to the standard which your video equipments employ. (General Model only)

General Instructions for Connections

Make sure that you have the left (L) and right (R) channels correctly connected. That means that jacks marked “L” on this unit must be connected to jacks marked “L” on other units. Likewise with the “R” jacks. This is easy if you remember to always use the red plug for the “R” jacks and the other plugs for the “L” jacks.

With speaker connections you must also be sure that the polarity is correct. For each amplifier and each channel, connect the plus (+) terminal of the amplifier to the plus terminal of the speaker, and connect the minus (–) terminal of the amplifier to the minus terminal of the speaker. To keep track of polarity, use a speaker cable that has one of the two wires marked by a stripe or a different color.
